9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 352

Episode 352

Episode 115. Home (2)

Master and Puang remained the same.

Duran proudly showed off his affection for his pupil, and Poin still had a pale face as if he was suffocating among these difficult people.

However, the atmosphere of Hella Rosé was quite different from two years ago.

Her appearance, which had the appearance of a Jericho girl, became more mature, and there was a mysterious dignity in her eyes, which were just full of guns and clear. He was also quite tall, and now, when he raised his head just a little, Yuma’s eyes met.

Naturally, it reminded me of the heyday of Hella Rose, the wise and beautiful Empress during her days as a eunuch.

Yuma moved closer, kissed Hella’s outstretched hand politely and bowed.

“Baron Drake. Do you remember what I said before you left?”

When Hella asked with a smile, Yuma recalled the farewell party held at the Fuang Merchant before leaving for the East.

– I will change a lot in the future.

There will be more changes especially while you are in the East.

-But I don’t want to change as much as you.

– I will too.

It was a greeting from Hella Rose at the farewell party.

“I remember.”

“I am still Are you still the same?”

It was not simply a question with only the human relationship between Hella and Yuma in mind.

Yuma Drake is now a name that has a huge influence on the whole world beyond the West.

Hela was also asking him if he was still loyal to Kyle’s family.

“Degradation, of course. God Yuma Drake will never change.”

However, it was a conversation that could cause misunderstandings for those who did not know the context of Hella asking and answering if Yuma was still with each other.

It was because it sounded like a story between lovers who hadn’t seen each other in a long time.

Rumors had been circulating in the West that if Yuma returned, he might marry Hella.

It was a rumor that most people thought was the only way to keep a huge figure named Yuma properly tied to the imperial family.

“It’s been a while since we met, but I guess it’s possible to talk properly only after returning to the capital. It’s a pity that my itinerary isn’t over yet.”

Hela was currently inspecting all of Kyle’s territory. Originally, the main purpose of visiting the port city of Brurt Basel was to visit, but the schedule was adjusted to welcome Yuma’s return home.

So, Hella couldn’t go back to Kyle with Yuma and the others. There were still quite a few cities left to inspect.

It was a move that continued because the succession to the throne was right around the corner. She was to rule the empire after Asuka Roze, who would abdicate within a year.

Yuma looked at her carefully and recalled the problem that had bothered her until right before returning home.

Maxor. I was worried that the goddamn underworld aura creature that Amanzo had unleashed in the West might be inside Hella’s body.

After the battle at Rimt Castle, the power of the Demon God of the Underworld was put down, but Yuma’s sense of the Demon God did not disappear at all. If you focus, you can easily detect the extent of Maxor’s parasitism.

The position of demon god still belonged to Yuma. If ‘complete death’ in the human world

comes, Yuma will naturally go to the underworld and start ruling.

Although the variable called hider remains.

‘It looks like I couldn’t penetrate for the time being.’

Hela couldn’t feel Maxor’s energy.

Of course, since Amanzo lost his position and was expelled from the royal family, even if Maxor infiltrated the Western powers, the possibility of an extreme situation was low.

This is because the subject who can control the infiltrated Maksoor as he wishes has disappeared.

However, the existence of the warlock Shiram was a variable. It was something that Shiram might control the infiltrated Maksoor in some way on behalf of Amanzo.

‘I’m glad I don’t have one.

When I return to the capital, I’ll have to check on all those in power.’

Yuma sighed inwardly and smiled at Hella.

“The war was dark and there were many sad and mysterious things. I will tell you all about it when I return to the capital.”

“I look forward to it, Yuma.”

Not ‘Baron Drake’, but even a more friendly title of ‘Yuma’.

After today, the rumors of Yuma and Hela’s marriage were going to spread a bit more.

Yuma was not aware of it, but Hella acted with the rumor in mind.

Hella turned back the way she had come and headed for the lordship of Burt Basel.

Wow!

When the princess’s procession was over, Duran hugged Yuma and patted him on the back. From Duran’s point of view, if ‘Pangpang’ was an ordinary person, he would probably have been crushed to death.

“Good job, disciple. This guy has gotten stronger!”

“Let’s talk about it, Master. Are you going to kill me on sight?”

“No uncle. Do you not care about your nephew who came back through near death? I’m so sad I can’t live. Aren’t you doing too much? I’ve been looking for the East too!”

“Get your name right. uncle? this kid Is this Zach’s courtyard?”

The words were harsh, but the look of Duran slapping Randel in the back of the head was filled with deep affection. It was a heartwarming sight.

“Puang.”

Yuma, who managed to get rid of his teacher, fisted Puang.

“Yuma-sama.”

Even if they didn’t have to ask how they were doing, they could recognize each other’s past just by looking at each other. that there is no change.

“Thank you again.”

“I am.”

Only then did Puang relax.

And Cindy Mew, the secretary of the Puang Company, who was standing next to him, looked at Yuma with a wide smile. There was a chill in her smile for some reason.

“Oh Cindy. It’s been a long time since you too…

“You worked hard in the east, Ma-sama Yu. And these are the documents and approval documents of the Puang Merchant Corps and the Rose Society Cellov Unit that Ma-sama Yu has to deal with in the future.”

Cindy beckoned, and Shupin and other servants of the upper ranks stepped forward.

They all had bundles of paperwork in their hearts that were too heavy to hold still.

It didn’t end there. Even in the upper carriage that Cindy had prepared, the stacks of papers filled up to the passenger seats formed a wall.

“First of all, I took care of the urgent things. After he passed away, handling special official documents sent down from the imperial family, checking negotiations with clients who demanded a direct deal with Yu Ma, settling accounts, ordering division of labor, checking books, and more! you have to do it.”

Cindy, who spat out the words quickly, put on a refreshing expression as if the old jam had gone down.

It was her own little revenge for Yuma, who treated her like a machine or a slave.

Since joining the Puang Company, Cindy has been under heavy workload due to Yuma, so there hasn’t been a single day that her dark circles have been erased. Even when he goes to the east and is absent.

At least once, Cindy also wanted to throw a pile of work at Yuma. Even so, the positions of the small master and secretary of the upper ranks would not change.

“And I’m really glad you came back safely. All the staff at Puang Merch, including me, waited for the little master. I mean it.”

Yuma smiled and received a fan from Shupin and signed a piece of paper.

“know. I also missed you guys Now… Then, let’s all get into the horse car. It’s time to go home. Let’s celebrate by going back to the capital city! Mars?”

“ancient! I will prepare for departure!”

One by one, the companions and the people who had come to meet them got into the Hale-bound express carriage.

Yuma stood outside while everyone pushed her languid body from the voyage into the soft carriage.

“Miss Yuma. Did you leave anything on the boat?”

For some reason, Cindy cleared her throat and asked Yuma.

“No, there is nothing like that.”

“Then by wagon…

“I’ll have to take the top wagon instead of the express wagon. Because there is a mountain of work to deal with…

“Ahaha, I see.”

“You, the secretary, should ride together and help me with my work, right? Haha let’s go.”

In the end, Cindy fell for herself and had to deal with Yuma and the documents for two weeks on the way to Hale.

To the point where my face, which had been smooth like a clean egg for the first time in a while, became crumbly again.

Duran Jacques, who was excited like a child at the thought of chatting with his pupil for the first time in two years, thanks to this, it was not easy to exchange a few words with Yuma on the way home.

So, it was up to his colleagues to take on the wrath of the world’s strongest old man, who had a heartache for no reason.

* * * ‘You monstrous human… I lost.’

On the day he arrived in the capital, Yuma finally cleared all the overdue documents in the carriage.

Even with that alone, Cindy was already dying, but as soon as Yuma arrived, he locked himself in his office for a week and took care of all sorts of things with excitement.

Of course, Cindy, the chief secretary, was destined to never leave Yuma’s side.

In the end, Yuma and the others returned to the Puang Merchants, and a week later, Cindy collapsed from overwork and was in a state of suffering. Fortunately, most of the urgent work was done after I finished it.

But even after she collapsed, she couldn’t rest in peace.

It was because Marlon and Zecca, two of Yuma’s friends who could be proud of being the most ignorant and stupid, came to the upper house every day and made a fuss about her, saying that they were worried about her.

Their fuss was partly because of Cindy’s health, but the real reason was something else.

“Hey Yuma! Let me smoke some of that too. Cindy won’t give it to you.”

“What kind of babysitter is Cindy? Marlon even asks Cindy for some cigarettes. Hold on to the sick and don’t bother them. And do you ever go back to the Worgs?”

“Because you don’t give it! Jeka, do you think so too? huh?”

“sympathy.”

“No, they gave me one as soon as they arrived, these! Didn’t I give it to you?”

“Could you give me just one dishonestly! Now, I can’t go back to the body I had before I knew that cigarette. I’d rather not give it to you!”

“Look at the logic. Where did you give me one? I can’t even smoke one a day. And it’s not me, it’s Natalie managing…

“Oh, I don’t know. I can’t stand it today.

I won’t leave until you give it to me.”

“Oh yes. try it somewhere After a few of these straws are broken, you will change your mind.”

The reason they were bickering was no different. It was because of the top-of-the-line tobacco that was only produced in the land of dragons that the Dragon Lord Mahatrisa had sent.

For a while before Yuma returned, the whole city of Hale was abuzz with that cigarette. To be precise, it was a problem with a single ‘dragon’ that landed at the entrance of the Puang Upper Mansion in broad daylight.

Mahatrisha The great dragon lord had the dragon ‘directly deliver’ the cigarettes he was supposed to send to Yuma.

Even Yuma couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when he heard the story.

‘Crazy… No matter how dragon lord you are, do you have a dragon deliver cigarettes?

The purpose of bringing it must have been absurd.’

Of course, thanks to that, Yuma’s status as the ‘herald of the dragon race’ was further engraved in the minds of Kyle’s people and nobles.

“Oh my, oh my! Mr. Yuma! As soon as you come, what the hell is this?!

Miss Cindy! To make them work to the point of collapsing after taking so many tonics!”

“This is why I overestimated the stamina of the Imperial Family Task Force members. Be sure to pack bounties and vacations generously. But thanks to Cindy, I was able to just finish it in the end.”

“What do you mean you finished? What is it?”

Yuma grinned and held out a stack of papers to Poin.

“Health Care Reform Petition! Shupin, call Cheryl right now.”

“Healthcare reform? Can I really ask for something like that?

To Your Majesty?”

“Sure. All costs will be borne by our guild. at all costs.”

“Oh no! Aww!”

For the time being, the hardships were clear.
